System and method for measuring pin voltages of electronic components

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method for measuring pin voltages of electronic components installed in an electronic device, the method comprising:

• (a) storing basic data of the electronic components into a database which communicates with the computing device, wherein the basic data comprises names and pin coordinates of the electronic components, and classifying the electronic components into a plurality of component types according to the names by the database;
• (b) sorting the basic data related to a component type selected from the plurality of component types with the computing device;
• (c) filtering the electronic components which belong to the selected component type with the computing device;
• (d) reading the pin coordinates of an electronic component selected from the filtered electronic components from the database with the computing device;
• (e) controlling a mechanical arm of a measurement machine to move to a pin of the selected electronic component according to the pin coordinates with the computing device;
• (f) controlling a voltage probe installed on the end of the mechanical arm to measure a voltage of the pin with the computing device;
• (g) repeating steps from (e) to (f) until all pins of the selected filtered electronic component have been measured;
• and
• (h) generating test results including the voltages of the pins of the selected electronic component, and outputting the test results to display on a display of the computing device.
